Trapani is the Sicilian port for the Egadi Islands and the base for Erice and the salt pans – and parking here is cheaper than in Palermo or Catania. Blue bays run by ATM Trapani cost €0.70–1.00 per hour, the official Egadi car park costs €10 a day in summer (€2.50 off-season) including a free bus to the hydrofoils, and the Erice cable car has its own paid car park. This guide covers the zones and summer hours, ferry parking, the cable car, the airport and the small ZTL in the old town.
Tip: if you also need car rental in Italy, our guide compares the operators and typical rates – and a smaller car makes these parking zones far less stressful.
Trapani parking in short: ATM blue bays from €0.70/hour, Parcheggio Egadi for the ferries and paid car parks at the Erice cable car.
On-street parking in Trapani is run by the municipal company ATM Trapani. The historic centre has a limited-traffic zone (ZTL) and pedestrian streets with set hours – park outside the old town and walk in; it is small and flat.

Tariffs depend on the bay: €1.00/hour in the busiest streets and €0.70/hour elsewhere (a few outer bays are cheaper). Paid hours are 08:00–13:30 and 15:30–20:00, except on public holidays. From 1 June to 30 September the historic centre is paid until midnight (08:00–13:30 and 15:30–24:00), including Sundays, and some old-town streets cost more in summer (up to about €1.50/hour) – always check the sign and the meter.
White-line bays in residential streets outside the old town are free unless a sign sets a time limit or street-cleaning hours.
Yellow lines are reserved (loading, taxis, disabled badge holders). The old-town ZTL is enforced – do not follow the sat-nav through it; a standard Italian ZTL fine starts at about €83.
Around 400 spaces on Via dei Grandi Eventi (Piazzale Ilio, behind the Palazzetto), open 24 hours. The price includes the free ATM Line 2 bus to the hydrofoil port and the old town, timed to the last hydrofoil. Pay at the automatic cashier.
Private car park on Via San Pietro, about 100 m from the Liberty Lines hydrofoil terminal – the closest option if you have luggage. Liberty Lines lists it as a parking partner.
Private operator with shuttle and valet parking for the port and Trapani airport, bookable in advance on Parclick.
Two car parks reserved for cable-car users at the Casa Santa lower station. Pay at the cashier at P1 before leaving.
Free white-line bays in the residential streets east of the old town. Check signs for time limits and street cleaning; in summer many central streets are paid until midnight.
Liberty Lines hydrofoils sail from Trapani to Favignana, Levanzo and Marettimo; the fast crossing to Favignana takes about 20–30 minutes and one-way fares are roughly €12–20 depending on the season. Park at Parcheggio Egadi (€10/day in summer) and take the free Line 2 bus, or use Parking Andros next to the terminal. Check timetables on libertylines.it.
Erice sits about 750 m above Trapani. The Funivia di Erice cable car from Casa Santa saves you the hairpin road: €15 return, €9 one way (2026). Its car parks cost €5 for the first three hours and €10 per day. Hours change by season; on Mondays it opens only at 14:00 for maintenance, and it closes each year for maintenance from early November to early December (in 2026: 3 November–4 December).
Marsala is about 30 km south. The Saline di Trapani salt pans lie along the coastal road and are best at sunset. Wine houses such as Florio, Donnafugata and Pellegrino offer tastings – book ahead.
Trapani–Birgi airport is about 15 km south of the city. Car park P1, opposite the terminal, costs €1 for the first hour, €15 per day, €26 for 2 days and €35 for 3 days (then +€8 per day); the first 15 minutes are free.
